Sir:- Can you give me any information about the if any  more Revolutionary War records of families of David Daniels or only Stephen Fox , possibly of Connecticut?
Can you verify, or correct, or add to, this information: "Richard (or Anthony?) Williams  not as name appears in the ____ (illegible word) Role of Captain Watkins' company (or Watkins Battalion) of the 2 d Regiment of Artillery, Continental troops, commanded by Colonel John Lamb: first as a gunner then as a bombardier from 12 July 1777 (enlisted 16 April 1777) to term of enlistment 'during war'; last reported Corporal 10 th Company 2 d Regiment of Artillery, in the role for April 1783." Virginian organizations I believe.
I can trace my descent from David Daniels and Stephen Fox, my husband his from Williams.
Any help you can give me will be deeply appreciated.
Very truly yours,

U. S. Pension Bureau, Washington, D. C. Gentlemen:--
Will you kindly give me the record of the Stephen Fox, a soldier of the Revolution, who enlisted as a private soldier October 1780 at Fairfield, Conn. He enlisted in the 3 rd regiment. Enlisted again in December 1780 and was discharged at West Point, December 4 th , 1783.

In 1790 he enlisted to fight hostile Indians in the West, and married Mary Bates, July 20 th , 1790, in Hamilton County, Ohio. He later removed to Wayne County, Indiana, and died there February 25 th 1842.
I am under the impression that he applied for a pension, June 1818, from Hamilton County, Ohio.
He was my great grandfather, and I have applied for membership in the D.A.R. on his record.
The National Board require me to get a statement to this effect from the Pension records. I hope and trust that I can get this.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness, I am
Yours truly

Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:-
Sometime ago, I wrote you about the pension record of Stephen Fox of Connecticut. Your reply of March 7 th 1913 stated he died in Wayne Co, Indiana Feb 25 th 1842. The Connecticut state records say he died in Wayne Co, Ohio. The Connecticut records come from "Connecticut Men in the Revolution". Is it possible that your stenographer made an error. As there is a Wayne Co both in Ohio and Indiana it seems impossible for me to decide without consulting you again. The U. S. Pension record came signed J. L. Davenport, Commissioner. If it is not too much do ask records like to have the records investigated again for possible error.
Very respectfully
